Clickbank is a kind of marketplace that people can join to promote thier own people or other people. For you who have digital product to sale, you can use clickbank to market your product and you make more money. For you who have nothing to sale, you can use clickbank to promote others product. I and likely you belong to this group who doesn't have product to sale, so i use clickbank to get affiliate commision.
And here is the detail step by step making money with clickbank
Step 1....
Of course you have to have account in clickbank
if you doesn't have yet clickbank account you can click here to sign up
Step 2...
you'll need to list down your Internet marketing strength and weaknesses. Yes, that means getting a pen and a paper and literally writing it down! And yes, that means listing down if you've tried article marketing, Adwords so on and so forth.
I want you to rate yourself on each of the 'skill' on a scale of 1 to 10. Take into consideration your experience, success rate, knowledge on each of the methods when you rate yourself. Go on, I'll give you a few seconds to do that.
1 second.
2 seconds.
3 seconds.
Done? Ok, now go on and fire up Clickbank.com. Nothing that there is a 'marketplace' link right at the top, click it and you should see this:
Notice the various categories they have there like 'business to business', 'health and fitness', 'fun and entertainment' etc? Those are the various categories or niches within Clickbank.
(For those more experienced with Clickbank, please bear with me as I walk through these baby steps for the sake of the newbies here!)
I want you to click on each of those 9 categories and sort each category by means of their 'gravity score'. You can do this by selecting 'high gravity' like what you see below:
Now for each of the 9 category, do the same thing and choose the top 6 products you see on each category and paste it in a words doc named 'clickbankproductportfolio.doc' or something. Of course, if you really want to go hardcore on clickbank product selection, you could select the top 10 - by all means go ahead!
I want to pause for awhile and talk a little on Clickbank gravity scores. Clickbank gives a very complicated explanation for gravity ratings so I'm gonna simplify it for you. In short, the higher the gravity, the more people are promoting it and the more sales it is making.
So the purpose of you selecting products with high gravity rating is to select products that are proven sellers that people are currently promoting.
"Won't I be competiting with several hundreds and thousands of other affiliate marketers?? Do I stand a chance? Will I get slaughtered?"
NO! You won't get slaughtered! It is precisely thinking like that, that prevents people from making money. Think about it, where is the money in online marketing?
- Adult niche
- Make Money Niche
- Fitness
- Forex
- Pills
- Credit loans etc
These are all big big niche in their own right BUT these are also the niches where the money is at! There's a difference between chasing a sub-niche within a niche and chasing an obscure small niche : Clickbank niche within make money online niche as opposed to fishing ethusiasts living in alaska.
Ok, that is not a perfect example, (the fishing niche could be a great niche) but the point is, not to chase after the small niches and ignore the big ones for 'fear of competition' or 'its too crowded'.
The big niches are BIG which means there is enough money for everyone. Trust me on that. I've a hand in many of big niches online.
Back to our clickbank product selection!
So now you've got a doc file named 'clickbankportfolio' or something. There will be some duplicates in there, so weed them out. After weeding them out, you'll be left with a good tight list of potential products you can promote.
We are going to weed it down further but not too much. My hands are tired from all this type so I'm gonna take a rest and carry on the weeding process in the next post. You won't have to wait too long for that but I suggest you go do what I outlined in this blog first.
Yes every single step. You do want to make money with Clickbank right?
for step 3 and step 4. i will contiune it in next post....
